We walked into the tent right at the beginning of "Come Closer" and I can't think of a better way to be introduced to live umph. I have been on the LMA for sometime now and just registered to let you know that this quality is AMAZING. The tent shows by far blew the top off and the energy inside was astounding. Umph just got announced for 2011 so look for more of the same. Thanks!

Wow! I am impressed with everything about this show. The recording is incredible, the set is superb, and the band does a great job of keeping energy through 20 min songs! Umphrey's does it again, thank you for posting this. A must have for any Umphrey's fan.

GREAT SOUND! Gotta love Tascam's DR series. Been eyeing a DR680 since NAMM previews. Seriously, one of the best taper recordings of an UM show in the past 6 months. That said, UM was on FIRE. Huge energy captured here. They had their wheaties that morning thats for sure.

Bridgeless, you think it might end, then it doesn't and you're glad it doesn't because they feed your ears some tasty treats made of rippin guitar riffs, groovin bass lines and killer drum fills.

The past few Partyin Peeps I've heard have been pretty great. This one takes the cake though. Very energetic and skillful. I've heard some that lose momentum but Stasik keeps them driving and Cinniger/Bayless keep it interesting.

There are some longer UM jams that I lose interest in. In the Kitchen>Bridgeless of this show, at 17:40, I was only lost for about 30 seconds total, which in a near 18 minute song isn't bad. At shows I feel like these are normally a good time to go get a beer or something, the crowd tends to calm down... But anywhoo...

What a great Come Closer. I saw them close Set 1 with this song in Asheville (2010-02-11) and I have to say, while that show was just full of a loving crowd, I enjoy this recording and performance of this song a lot more.

Tinkle's > Steppin Razor : a lot of energy in the opening of Tinkle's and, though it loses a bit of that energy I'm sure they're busy plotting because it leads into a kickin cover of a Peter Tosh song. Theres only one other show on archive that have this cover and I'm pretty sure this is the best quality. It goes back into that high energy Tinkle's and just rocks your sox.

A nicely played Much Obliged>In the Kitchen that has a bit of good noodling.

Cemetery Walk is among my favorite UM songs. This performance is deep and soulful with some nice improvisation. It shows the musicianship of this band and demonstrates their ability as song writers and performers. Lovin it.

An absolute must have for UMphreaks. No seriously, if you haven't grabbed this yet DOIT. A BIG round of applause for blingfree and everyone who loaned him gear. Supreme clarity guys, just amazing.
